Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrews, are you too young to know what the hell
we're talking about? No idea? What you're talking about? No idea? Okay,
that's a shame.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It really we should bring it in and do a
little show and teles.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
So you don't collect baseball cards as I do not? Okay?
All right, well you're missing out, man. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My kids never collected baseball cards either. I think it's
just a thing of the past.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I think it is. Well, I think for a lot
of people it is.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Some people still collect them because they're collectors right in
the right. But I mean, he's screwing these yet going
to seven to eleven, going to Walmart or write eight
or CBS and getting a pack of baseball cards.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You guys, tell me do kids still do that? Because
I don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I was telling Andrews off the ear that right around
the Maguire rookie year in eighty seven, when that top
set came out and they started kind of mass producing everything,
it kind of felt like the mid to late eighties
is when the baseball card phenomenon kind of started to
go away a little bit, that maybe they weren't as
special there wasn't as big a novelty anymore. I still
(00:56):
like every now and then grabbing something from the fifties
or sixties, or seventies or early eighties, if not earlier.
I mean, I'd love to have a fifty two tops mantle.
By the way, if anybody wants to buy me one,
they're only about a million dollars. But I think that
you're right, Dick. I don't think kids collect baseball cards,
basketball cards. They used to collect Star Wars cards when
I was a kid. So you tell us four nine
four five one. Is that still a thing that kids do?
(01:18):
Or is that maybe for guys like us.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I remember having a conversation with my aunt one day
and I showed her all my baseball cards, and I
brought out the Beckett Monthly to showed the price of
all the cards, right, and I'm like, look at this, Aunt, Sherry,
I've got a Mike. You mentioned my Green, I got
my Greenwell Rookie, it's worth fifteen dollars, says right here
in this book, says right there. And she goes, well,
can you really get that much money for these cards?
I was like yes, Sometimes, she says, if everybody has
(01:42):
these cars, I was like, yeah, you can just go
get them in a pack for thirty five.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Says, just what.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
If everybody has these cards those then why are they
going to be that expensive?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And she turned out to be exactly right. Because of
what you.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Said, the supply just went through the room and and
it just overshot the demand and all the prices just crashed.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
The Beckett Monthly, Andrews, again, you have no idea what
the hell we're talking about. It should be a magazine
that would come out once a month, once a month,
and it was awesome. I collected it, subscribed to you
bought it every month. They would have a different baseball
player on the front every month. You would have loved
this freaking thing. And inside they would give you a
price guide for every baseball card ever made, like ever ever, and.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It would change.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The prices would change from month to month, like uping
on how a guy was performing, the price could go up,
and baseball card shops all around the country use this
thing as the freaking bible to decide how much they
were charging people for baseball cards.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It was, but the problem is you Anders.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
You would go to the shop and say, yeah, I
want a Mike Greenwell rookie, and they'd check Beckett and
they would sell it to you for like twenty five
percent over Beckett.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But if you tried to sell one.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
To a baseball card shop, they'd give you like fifty
percent of a massive It was a massive scam.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It really is amazing how many cool things you missed, man,
because you weren't alive back in the eighties and nineties.
All the all the baseball stuff, all the chemicals were
used to ingest in our food and drinks back in
the day that are now banned. The bubble gum, what
was in the bubble gum was a piece of yes,
whatever the hell that would It was like cardboard.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It was a cockroach.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
This thing could survive a nuclear plass. So unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So is there nothing going on, by the way, Yeah,
the big game tonight, Big game tomorrow, big game Sunday,
Two big games tomorrow, And uh, I gotta tell you, man,
I'm just I'm kind of wiped out already.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I don't know if it's because I'm getting freaking old here, man,
but I'm thinking about tomorrow, and just thinking about tomorrow
is making me tired. Thinking about the Mariners game tomorrow
is making me tired?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Was it you?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Ian? It was Ian?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I forget now you you guys all just you really do.
He was asking me, what's your anxiety level? I mean
whatever pooping yourself is. That's where I'm at, you know,
I mean one through ten? Is it deaf Con one
or deaf Con five is the lowest? So I'm like
a deaf Con point and a half is what I am.
I'm whatever's underneath theaf Con one is. Well, yeah, I
I am so nervous this thing tomorrow. I'm excited. I
(04:02):
am full of anxiety. I'm anticipating it big time. I
can't wait to watch it. I won't be able to
go because I'll be at the Husky game tomorrow night. Andrews,
you'll be there. You'll be at the Husky game with me.
I mean, it just seems just seems like every sports fan,
every person that you know, is doing something tomorrow involving
the Huskies, Mariners or both, right, Like can you Like
(04:24):
I actually saw a dude here at the bar and
I was like, you're going to game tomorrow. He's like, no,
I'm gonna play off in Eastern Washington. Like okay, that's
like the one dude that I the one guy that
has nothing going on tomorrow involving the Huskies or Mariners.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know, there's part of me that's kind of glad
I'm gonna be at the Husky game because it will
give me a little bit of a distraction from being
totally stressed out. And the fact that it's a Husky
game that we should win easily that helps a little
bit as well. That I won't be doubles. It's not
like we're playing Michigan or Ohio State or Penn State.
(04:56):
I'll have a little bit. It will give me a
little bit of disc it's from the Mariners game. Even
though it'll be on my phone, I'll be watching it.
You mentioned they're gonna have it on the Husky game
before the game right day. Yeah, they're gonna carry it
on the Jumbo trone, but.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Not in the zone like they did three years ago.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And I don't think so. I think what they're gonna
do is they're gonna first pitches. At five oh eight.
I was talking to my buddy Kurtzwillbota over at UDUB
and he said, look, we're gonna carry it as long
as we can you know, I mean, at some point
they gotta get into their pregame festivities and you know,
all the fun videos and stuff they do and pyrotechnics
and blah blah blah. So at some point I think
you said, probably around five thirty is what he said.
(05:31):
Five forty or so. I can go back and look
at the text. They're gonna switch over. But yeah, if
you're in the stands tomorrow at five oh eight for
the Mariner first pitch, it'll be on the jumbo tron
at Husky Stadium, which I think is great.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You know, it's great, It's great.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It'll be interesting to see how focused Husky fans will
be in that stadium, like how many people will actually
be just locked into their phones, and how many people
will actually be watching the game. Because if you're a Husky,
if you're a Husky season ticket holder, you probably didn't
buy tickets to the Mariners because you were gonna go
to the Husky game. Maybe some are gonna go to
(06:04):
the Mariners game, but there's a lot of people that
just either a can't afford Mariner tickets for this or
just are like no, I'm just I'm not gonna spend
three hundred and fifty dollars when I'm already paid for
Husky tickets. That's kind of where I'm at. I've already
already paid for good Husky tickets. I'm not gonna spend
three hundred and fifty more dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I just hope they win. Then I can buy a
ticket next week for the ALCS.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
If I could have gotten out of my duties tomorrow
night and gone to T Mobile, I would have done it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'm just being honest.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, you tried three years ago, I did I, Boss Lunch.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I tried.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I tried to pay Dick one thousand dollars three years
ago to go fill in ticket rich when Richmond Dick
was all set.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I would have done it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
In his defense, I mean, it's a thousand bucks. One
thousand bucks. Three years ago, it was worth a lot
more than five thousand. Now, I'm telling you that I
would have gotten out of it.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
But hey, you know what man, I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Look, we are so lucky to get to do what
we do in this business, and you know I was.
I'll be truthful with you, guys. I was throwing a
bit of a pity party today. And my wife is
just like, you know what, dude, suck it up, man
and stop being a.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Bird for yah.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well, and it's not having to work, It's just I'm
gonna be bummed that I'm not there at the baseball
game on Friday. I mean, look, I'm I love the
Huskies and all that, and you know that they're number
one for me. But if you're telling me that I'm
gonna skip one game to go watch the biggest game
in twenty four years in Mariner baseball and it's the
Rutgers game, I absolutely would have done that.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But I agree with you one thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There's gonna be a lot of people that are there
that'll be watching the game on their phones. Because guys,
let's be honest, how many people in the I five
corridor Everett to Tacoma, three million people whatever it is,
forty eight thousand of them will be at t Mobile Park, right.
That leaves two point nine to five million people that
will not be at the Mariner game tomorrow that will
have other things to do, and a lot of them
(07:45):
will be at Husky Stage. The Husky crowd's gonna be
I think the atmosphere is going to be good for
the people that are there. Yes, I do agree with
that though that it might be a bit of a
lighter crowd.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It is homecoming.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
It is homecoming. It's also a six pm kickoff on
a Friday night. And see how traffic. Right, So we'll see,
we'll see. But hey, you know what, just get it done,
get it done tomorrow, and then we got some big
games next week that we can all get, you know, embraced,
and start beating on Toronto and hating Canada.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Three fourteen, we're gonna break.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Rick new Heiseel gonna join next on ninety three three KJARFM, your.
Speaker 6 (08:25):

analyst Rick new Heiseel, powered by Taco Time. Hungry at
Taco Time, It's easy to create exactly what you're craving,
and we wouldn't have it any other way. How do
you Taco Time, customize your meal and order ahead on
the Taco Time Northwest Taco Time Time for something different
Now with Rick new Heisel, here's Softy and Dick.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
All right, we are live at Tom's Watch Bar across
the street from Planet Pledge Arena for the Kracking ducks Man.
When these two teams get together, throw out their record books, baby,
their enemies, they hate each other. At seven o'clock tonight,
here the broadcast whatever and now and Mikey and the.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Whole crew, Well, how do you throw the record books
out from last year? Year before?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Come on, Dick, stay with me here Palas day with
me joining us right now on the radio show. I
was going to introduce him by his given name, Rick
new heisl of CBS Sports, but I think we all
now know he is no longer Rick new Heiseel. He
is now Jerry's dad, and he joins us right now
on the radio program.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Hey, Jerry's dad.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Before we get to that, I want to play a
clip here for you, and this is after the Penn
State UCLA game on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I want you to tell me.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Confirm that this is not Jerry's dad talking, but Jerry
himself Andrews rolling.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
But all things you learned from. I hate to say this,
but I had never practiced with the headset in terms
of like the button to talk to the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So there's like multiple.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Times during the game I'm calling to play, but the
headset's flipped up. Because I'm used to being a position
coach and then all of a sudden, I'm pressing the
wrong part of the button, trying to talk to him.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Like it was.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It was a mess.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
Hopefully we'll get that cleaned up by next week. But
just one of those days we just just all kind
of fell into place.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
If I went back, amazing, if I went back Rick
and listen to an interview that we did when you
were thirty seven thirty eight years old as a coach
of the Huskies, you sounded exactly like that, and he
looked exactly like, So is that you or.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Is that him talking? Confirm it?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
That was Ai that way, clearly. Clearly, the content of
that message means that we didn't play button button, Who's
got the button? Nearly enough. As children, it was a
great day for Jerring, a great day for UCLA, fun
for college football, and certainly as parents, we all know
(10:47):
how much fun it is to see your kids kind
of have that moment. So it was a thrill, a
lot of fun, a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Where does that rank?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I mean, because you're exactly right, I mean, when I
watch my kids succeed, I'm way more proud of that
than anything I ever did. So where does that rank
as far as your best college football saturdays of.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Your life, and way more hands off the wheel, right
because you have no control. You're just sitting there, you know,
watching it in real time and pulling as hard as
you can. It ranks right up there, I mean. And
thankfully my wife decision was there. She got to be
in the sand, got my son Jack is there. So
(11:27):
it was great fun. It was great fun. But now
on the Michigan State, you know, he's got he's got
to figure it out now this week again because he's
created now some films that those Michigan State coaches will
be watched. So now he's got to figure out how
to counter it and still be affected. But in credit
to Tim Skipper, the head coach, and Kevin Coyle, the
(11:47):
defensive coordinator. Kevin Coyle was coaching Syracuse as an analyst
two weeks ago and put together a defensive game plan
that helped the knock off Pense State. That's an incredible,
incredible accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, no, that well, congrats to the entire clan. Coach.
That was just awesome to see that.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
His reaction getting carried off the field by the players
and coaches after that game was really really cool to
see and then your reaction and studio losing your mind
tearing up on the air was awesome. So congrats, And
that's a memory you guys will take with you forever.
But I'll tell you what else is a memory is
the Husky's going to Maryland, fall behind twenty and finding
a way to win the game Saturday out at Colevich
(12:26):
Park and Maryland. So put yourself in the shoes of
those coaches and players. How much can that come back?
You think, springboard that locker room to bigger and better
things the rest of the year.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Well, when you factor in the road woes from a
year ago, right, the nightmares on the different venue, Ruttors
comes to mind, right, and you sit there and then
you're sitting there down twenty to nothing to Maryland, a
team that you were favored to see, and then all
of a sudden you find a way to come back.
I can just hear it get Fish in the aftermath
of that game saying, that's who we are, that's who
(13:00):
we are this year, and we've got a standard now
we've got to play to that. We owe it to
each other to play to and practice to. So I
think it's going to be a great will have been
a great week of practice. I'm looking forward to watching
the Huskies play tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
How do you avoid the letdown after a win like
that and come back home? Will the revenge factor that
they lost at Rutgers last year? Will that help kind
of mitigate the letdown a little bit?
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I think the fact that they now know it's inside
their dna to come from behind and win like that.
I think the fact that they know that separates them
from the memories of last year. And if the leadership
on that team will now make sure they hold everybody
to a standard each and every time they're getting ready
to play as well as play, I think it's going
(13:50):
to have great the results as they go forward. So
I think it was a critical, critical win. I we'll
be able to win on the road if you're going
to be a premiere program.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Or Rick new Hazel's with us and Rick, you know,
we spent a few minutes at the top there talking
about Jerry and the win over Penn State. But the
opposite side of that coin is James Franklin's future at
Penn State. And we asked you, I think a week ago,
if you thought James Franklin was going to get fired,
and you said, no, how much do things change after
(14:21):
what we saw last Saturday at the rollers bawl for
him and his future?
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Well, here's the deal. Unless James Franklin wants to leave,
it's fifty million dollars, just under fifty million dollars to
watch them walk out the door. And I mean, this
is a terrible loss for Penn State, inexcusable when you
look at it from a fans perspective, especially a fan
that's been contributing to the collective. It can't happen. And
(14:48):
yet to me, this is going to create some measure
of desperation. I feel this way about Texas too. These
two programs were picked to be one and two when
the season began. There's not enough desperation. And the leaders
from that locker room now has to look at each
other in the eye and say, we're coming back from this.
And both those teams, given the fact they're in the
Big ten and the SEC, have a schedule that will
(15:10):
allow for you know, one of those seasons where you
look back and go, this is kind of what we needed.
We almost needed to get ourselves knocked in the and
taste a little of our own blood and come back fighting.
And we're going to find out how much fight those
two programs have.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Let's talk about that Texas game.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
They're actually favored by a point and a half in
the Red River rivalry against sixth ranked Oklahoma. How do
you prepare if you're sark when you don't know if
John Matteer is going to play on the other side
or not. I mean, they're they he's questionable, but at
least Oklahoma sounds like he's going to play.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
How do you prepare if you're sark?
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Well, I think you prepare for the offense that Mature runs,
whether it's Hawkins now going to have a second game,
if he's if he's available, Michael Hawkins who played last year,
or if it's Matier. But at the end of the day,
it's about It's about us. If I'm Steeve Sary, and
there's one thing I'm never going to do again, which
is say we're one of one hundred and thirty six
teams and act like you know everybody you tell who
(16:08):
would have lost at Ohio State in Florida. You're not
one of one hundred and thirty sixteens. You've got more
resources than any program in the country, and you need
to act like it. And then he needs to go
in that locker room and say that standard's unacceptable and
who's going to hold us to a higher one? And
then see if that defense will go out and play,
because you're playing the best unit of all the units
so far in college football, the defense of Oklahoma, it
(16:31):
has been remarkably good, remarkably good. And if you can
find a way to run the ball and keys stay
on the field and put the pressure on it injured
or at least you know, Rusky John McTeer or Rusky
Michael Hawkins, you've got a chance to win that game.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You think Oklahoma's defense is better than Ohio States.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
I think Oklahoma's defense has been more explosive than Ohio States.
But I think Matt Patricia is the assistant coach of
the Year right now. He'd be my Broyles Award winner
just the way. And I add to that Ryan Day
in the offense because I think they're giving up some
you know, shots down the field because they're wanting to
pay complementary football, which we saw in Husky Stadium. I
(17:15):
think they're brilliant together and they're now on the number
one team in the land and by.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Us your big game on CBS Indiana Oregon. I'm hearing
a lot of handicappers right now saying Kurt Sidnetti and
Indiana sneaky dog in Austin.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Do you agree with the sneaky dog call? I think
this is a fascinating game because everywhere you look, these
are top ten teams, whether you're looking at defense, whether
you're looking at offense, whether you're looking at quarterbacks, whether
you're looking at run pass on either side of the ball,
up and across the board. I think at the end
of the day, I'm going to lean Oregon just because
(17:51):
I think they're fastest, and it's also going to be
in clement now. Indiana beat Illinois I think in the range.
So I don't know that that the biggest thing that's
going to be a problem for them, but I just
think the Ducks are a hair faster. I'm gonna lead
Oregon there.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Do you think Bill Belichick finishes the year at Chapel Hill,
And if he does finish the year, what kind of
odds would you give us on Bill Belichick coaching Carolina
in Week one next season?
Speaker 8 (18:21):
I think he does finish the year. I think the
university is wildly disappointed in what's happened. I think there's
at least watching the effort on the field, it looked
like a little bit of a mail in the fact
that Bill Belichick left during a bye week go on
a little vacation. At least it's been reported that he did.
(18:42):
That would never have happened at the Patriots. I think
they're going to get through the year because it would
be too embarrassing to do otherwise. But I will be
shocked if he's the head coach there next year.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I watched the first half of that game, Rick, and
you're right.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I mean, not only was it just a laugher, it
looked like they were poorly coached. I mean there were
defensive players completely out of alignment on every play against Clemson.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
Yeah, I didn't get a chance to watch it closely.
I did see what looked like loafs. You know, as
a coach, he used to put on tape the loafs
so that you could show it in your position meeting
and say this is unacceptable. There were a death tape,
would have been a long tape. And I also go
back to the TCU opener game where it was just
(19:28):
simple pin and poll stuff in the run game where
they were blocking down with the tight end pulling the
tackle and they never made an adjustment and it was
they were dashing them. And that's not Bill Belichick. He
doesn't let that happen. And yet I think he's all
too it's all too easy for him to let it happen.
This year, he's given his sons a chance to be uh,
you know, got great opportunities. But it's it doesn't look
(19:53):
anything BELICHICKI in any of our.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Minds, no, no question.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
All right, hey, listen before we get your tackle time
picking week, and I got to apologize to you because
normally we start the radio show win or lose, reminding
people what you did the previous game.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We didn't do well.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
And there's only one rule we skip that when your
son wins a football game the week before against Penn stand.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Fair enough, all right, that's the.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Only time I didn't you notice, I didn't chastise yet.
I know that I didn't get on yet.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
And I feel bad because you won with Pittsburgh last
week and you're off the schneid. But Rick just real quick,
like just like thirty seconds because we got to get
your pick here in a minute. Give us a take
on this Rutgers team that will see tomorrow. They're they're
three and two, but the two Big ten losses to
Iowa and Minnesota, they were leading with five minutes to
go in both games and could not finish the deal.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Yeah, they're a little different than they were maybe in
the last couple of years with Greg Ciano as their
head coach. They're not leaning on the running game. They're
leading on the quarterback who transferred from Minnesota. This kid
eighthan calli manus right, and they threw it all over
the yard against Iowa. So if it's gonna be but
I think that plays into the hands of the Husky defense.
(21:07):
And I think I don't know what the weather report
is tomorrow night. It's kind of raining here in Eugene,
so I'm wondering if you might get some of the
same precipitation. But I liked a game that's gonna be
a lot of throwing against the Huskies. I think their
corners match up, and so I'm gonna see I like
the Huskies in a revenge game here on Friday night.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, all right, real quick, taco time Pick of the week.
You're in the win column with Pittsburgh a week ago.
Good work on that. They blew him out and made
it easy for us. Who do you like this week
for your Taco Time Pick of the week.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
You know Jake Dickers left Washington State to go to
wake Horse and they two weeks ago nearly knocked off
Georgia Tech. Probably should have. There was a terrible non
call on an offside against Georgia Tech. They didn't call it.
He hit won last week. He's coming back to the
specific Northwest. He'll know all about Oregon State. They're only
(22:01):
a two and a half point pick. Robbie Ashford. If
it's inclement day, Robbie Ashford a running quarterback, I'm gonna
lean the Demon Deacons. I'll lay the two and a
half and we'll see you how the Beavers can hang
in there with them.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Great stuff, coach, congrats again on the big moment for
the family.
Speaker 1 (22:18):

All right, here's the deal, Dick. I'm gonna just go
with my gut. I'm going the exact opposite of everything
we talked about off the air.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Oh really, I'm just I woke up this.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Morning and I came in today with a pick in
my head good and I pulled out a piece of
paper like Draft Day that says the coups plus the
points against Ole Miss. I mean you might rip my
ass on Monday, and that's fine. I just got a
feeling I'm getting thirty two and a half at ole Miss.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I think the coups and the points is to play.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
We talked about the under in the in the game tonight. Yeah,
you talked about the Giants tonight. We talked about the
Jets in London, and I just I gotta go with
my gut. I gotta go with my gut. Cougar's and
Zebby are getting thirty two and a half at ole Miss.
Give me the Coops and the points this weekend.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, at least I got a reason to stay and
watch the game with my wife for three hours to
see if you're just giving me a reason at nine
in the morning on Saturday morning to watch Cougar football
with my lovely bride.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Factor Fiction Cougar's and the points against Ole Miss. I
don't think they win the game. I mean, I just
think thirty two and a half, I think they cover.
I think they cover.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Did they cover against us?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
No? They did not?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Thirty five good as All Miss? No, but that was
a weird wonky game, you know. I just think they're
a different team with Zebbi out there. I think All
Miss might be a ten overrated, to be honest with you,
as well could be. I think they're gonna look right
past these guys. So I like the Cougs. I've I've
I've liked them all week. I'm not changing my mind.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I'm gonna go my gut and I'm gonna take the
coops to the points Factor fiction.

you why, Guys, last week they played fourth ranked LSU.
Next week they played tenth ranc Georgia, and the week
after that they play sixth rank Oklahoma. I'm telling this
is an overlook track game if you ever could imagine one.

did you happen to hear what's that?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Where do you say we start? In baseball?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
After eliminating the Yankees yesterday, Blue Jay Slugger Vlatbeard Guerrero
Junior joined the Fox postgame show when he and fellow
Yankee hater David Ortize imitated the most famous John Sterling
line after a Yankee victory, Yankee, let's.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Again Yankees, But you don't take it personalized.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Here's the thing, though, Derek Jeters on the broad show.
But the thing for me, Jeter's way more of a
Yankee than a will ever be. But you're right, a
Ron played for the Yankees too. But I think that
that pierces Jeter more than it does Alex. Alex looked
far more horrified than well, far more horrified.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I think it's awesome. Jeter was kind of giggling.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Alex was had his hands on his face, like, oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I think I think I saw a tweet.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Somebody made a tweet and I saw it, uh talking
about how the Blue Jays did the world of favor
by eliminating the Yankees, and I kind of had to
pause for a second.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm like, do we really feel that way? Nope, because
I don't know if I do anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I mean, the Marriagers and Yankees have not played in
the playoffs series for twenty four years, going back to
two thousand and one. I think the next generation Dick.
Like Anders, they have way more angst and hatred towards
the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The Yankees.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Well, the Yankees are the Dallas Cowboys of baseball, right
they are. They are a team, And today's today's kids
don't give a crap about the Cowboys because they've never
done anything in their life. Actual what I'm saying, the
Yankees have done very very little in the lifetimes of
people like and when.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Was the last time the Yankees won a World Series?
Fifteen years ago?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Nine?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, you know whatever, it was right, sixteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
So I just kind of feel like, I mean, I'm
trained to hate the Yankees. Dick is trained to hate
the Yankees, But I don't know, I think the Blue
Jays bug to piss out of.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Me more than I hate. The Blue Days are my
second least favorite team after the As. Yeah. Yeah, I
might be right there with you, Pal.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Would it surprise you if I told you that Alex
Rodriguez played twelve years with the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Jeter played like twenty than that.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
But still Alex, I mean, twelve years, that's more than
all Yankees.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I just feel like Jeter is way more of a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, mister Evert.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, will ever be and the fans will let him
be reminded of that too.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yankee fans don't look at Alex Rodriguez as a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I understand that. But baseball fans look at Alex Rodriguez
and I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I look at the guys a chump they dick. Did
you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
They hang on this second? I hit the wrong three
two three two?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Dick? Let's go to UH number two.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
After his big win against the Seahawks on Sunday, Bucking
Your Quarterback, Baker Mayfield talked about how the perception of
his attitude has changed now that he's had success.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
I mean that's told you guys that try and not
get too high on get too low, which is something
that I was not doing early on in my career.
But you know, early on my career, Yeah, it's looked
this cocky immature. Now it's moxie.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
He's a dog, same different day.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
As long as you play well, they've changed an area.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
But you've got to be yourself and that I've.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Always been like that, right, I mean, you win games
and you can be as cocky as you want you
lose games, you come across as a morons, right. I Mean,
it's just all there is too. And I'm looking at
his quarterback record. The guy is fourteen and eight uh
since twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Uh, he was four He was four.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
And thirteen in the previous seventeen games. So he's totally
switched that the last two years in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Well, and he's one of those guys that got put
in the wrong spot in Cleveland. I mean, we've seen
it with the Giants, We've seen it with the Panthers,
we've seen it with the Jets, and then we've seen
it with the Browns. Like, you get put in that
situation as a quarterback, you're probably not going to succeed.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I think the one thing that I like, I like
you too.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I think the one.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Thing that probably bothered a lot of people when he
came out of college was the ultra brash.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Neist, right, and then all sagging.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, and then but then also he did all those
TV commercials. Meanwhile he was throwing three interceptions a game
in Cleveland. He was just like everywhere on TV, and
We're like, what the heck, man, you haven't done anything
in the NFL and you're all over team.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
He was a first round draft pick, that's what got
him on TV. But he had twenty two touchdowns and
twenty one picks in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You know, he was eleven and five and twenty twenty
for the Browns. Eleven and five.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Oh yes, and then everything just kind of fell apart
after that. So hey, I mean, dude, we may have
seen the MVP of the NFL come through here last weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Seriously, Alight, just got one more? All right?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Anders or Dick? Sorry? Hey, Anders?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Do you happen to hear that Anders did?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
What's that? Dave? What's that? Dick? Let's go two? Three
or four? You guys pick which one?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I like?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Three?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
More like three? Okay?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Five?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
On his podcast, now never mind, let's two, fortunately right,
ESPN's Paul fine Bomb relates a report on his show
detailing the activity of Bill Belichick during his bye week
and how much it differs from every other college football
head coach.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
During his bye week, he took the week off and
went on a vacation with Jordan Hutching. By the way,
I'm not against anyone having a vacation, but I have
never heard of a college football coach taking more.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Than maybe a day off, and I don't even think
I've ever heard of that.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
Spurrier used to get criticized for playing golf on the
Friday of the byewek. We heard Brian Kelly yesterday talk
about on Saturday, where there's no game, he went shopping
with his wife. That's as far as it goes. But
to take the whole week off, now, I realize there's
never been a seventy three year old coach who had
a twenty four year old girlfriend. I don't think that
(32:28):
really should be a factor here if I could offer
my opinion, But it feels like the end is near
for Bill Jeff Belichick. And by the way, I would
suggest a Bill he would be smart to quit now
before his legacy gets worse and he becomes even more
humiliated than he already is. I mean, he's on track
(32:48):
to become the worst college football coach ever. That's pretty
bad when you are considered the greatest NFL coach.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Huh has fine? Bob never heard of Tyrone Willingham. By
the way, I'll just say that although Tyrone went to
a Rose Bowl with Stanford, they were eight and four
and a down year for the Pack ten. But he
did go to a Rose Bowl. But here's the thing
about Belichick, He's just not bought in. And for as
much as fine bomb and noise the hell out of people,
he's exactly one.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Hundred percent right.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
You don't take a whole week off during the middle
of the year because you have a bye to go
on vacation.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You know what you do? You go recruit is what
you do. You go on the road, you go to
high schools.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I will bet you a significant amount of money, Dick,
that Bill Belichick is doing next to nothing or no
recruiting whatsoever for North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I think that he has probably already decided that this is.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
His one and only year at North Carolina, right, which
we all kind of knew that, So why should I
even do one thing when it comes to helping the
twenty twenty six North Carolina it's.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Already I think we all kind of knew going in
that the odds of him being there for two years
were pretty slim. We all thought that he was going
he gonna take the job and his son's going to
take over.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, good luck with that.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Now there's no way that happens now, I mean you've
interviewed Steve Belichick.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I've been a fuge Steve Belichick.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I wouldn't hire the guy to run a post office
with his personality. It's unbelievable. Man three fifty six Mike Combrin.
I'd hire him though, but running ups and FedEx. We'll
see if he wants the job in North he might
he might want it. Well, you know what we'll ask
him next. On ninety three three kJ R FL
Andrews, are you too young to know what the hell
we're talking about? No idea? What you're talking about? No idea? Okay,
that's a shame.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It really we should bring it in and do a
little show and teles.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
So you don't collect baseball cards as I do not? Okay?
All right, well you're missing out, man. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My kids never collected baseball cards either. I think it's
just a thing of the past.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I think it is. Well, I think for a lot
of people it is.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Some people still collect them because they're collectors right in
the right. But I mean, he's screwing these yet going
to seven to eleven, going to Walmart or write eight
or CBS and getting a pack of baseball cards.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You guys, tell me do kids still do that? Because
I don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I was telling Andrews off the ear that right around
the Maguire rookie year in eighty seven, when that top
set came out and they started kind of mass producing everything,
it kind of felt like the mid to late eighties
is when the baseball card phenomenon kind of started to
go away a little bit, that maybe they weren't as
special there wasn't as big a novelty anymore. I still
(00:56):
like every now and then grabbing something from the fifties
or sixties, or seventies or early eighties, if not earlier.
I mean, I'd love to have a fifty two tops mantle.
By the way, if anybody wants to buy me one,
they're only about a million dollars. But I think that
you're right, Dick. I don't think kids collect baseball cards,
basketball cards. They used to collect Star Wars cards when
I was a kid. So you tell us four nine
four five one. Is that still a thing that kids do?
(01:18):
Or is that maybe for guys like us.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I remember having a conversation with my aunt one day
and I showed her all my baseball cards, and I
brought out the Beckett Monthly to showed the price of
all the cards, right, and I'm like, look at this, Aunt, Sherry,
I've got a Mike. You mentioned my Green, I got
my Greenwell Rookie, it's worth fifteen dollars, says right here
in this book, says right there. And she goes, well,
can you really get that much money for these cards?
I was like yes, Sometimes, she says, if everybody has
(01:42):
these cars, I was like, yeah, you can just go
get them in a pack for thirty five.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Says, just what.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
If everybody has these cards those then why are they
going to be that expensive?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And she turned out to be exactly right. Because of
what you.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Said, the supply just went through the room and and
it just overshot the demand and all the prices just crashed.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
The Beckett Monthly, Andrews, again, you have no idea what
the hell we're talking about. It should be a magazine
that would come out once a month, once a month,
and it was awesome. I collected it, subscribed to you
bought it every month. They would have a different baseball
player on the front every month. You would have loved
this freaking thing. And inside they would give you a
price guide for every baseball card ever made, like ever ever, and.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It would change.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The prices would change from month to month, like uping
on how a guy was performing, the price could go up,
and baseball card shops all around the country use this
thing as the freaking bible to decide how much they
were charging people for baseball cards.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It was, but the problem is you Anders.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
You would go to the shop and say, yeah, I
want a Mike Greenwell rookie, and they'd check Beckett and
they would sell it to you for like twenty five
percent over Beckett.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But if you tried to sell one.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
To a baseball card shop, they'd give you like fifty
percent of a massive It was a massive scam.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It really is amazing how many cool things you missed, man,
because you weren't alive back in the eighties and nineties.
All the all the baseball stuff, all the chemicals were
used to ingest in our food and drinks back in
the day that are now banned. The bubble gum, what
was in the bubble gum was a piece of yes,
whatever the hell that would It was like cardboard.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It was a cockroach.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
This thing could survive a nuclear plass. So unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So is there nothing going on, by the way, Yeah,
the big game tonight, Big game tomorrow, big game Sunday,
Two big games tomorrow, And uh, I gotta tell you, man,
I'm just I'm kind of wiped out already.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I don't know if it's because I'm getting freaking old here, man,
but I'm thinking about tomorrow, and just thinking about tomorrow
is making me tired. Thinking about the Mariners game tomorrow
is making me tired?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Was it you?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Ian? It was Ian?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I forget now you you guys all just you really do.
He was asking me, what's your anxiety level? I mean
whatever pooping yourself is. That's where I'm at, you know,
I mean one through ten? Is it deaf Con one
or deaf Con five is the lowest? So I'm like
a deaf Con point and a half is what I am.
I'm whatever's underneath theaf Con one is. Well, yeah, I
I am so nervous this thing tomorrow. I'm excited. I
(04:02):
am full of anxiety. I'm anticipating it big time. I
can't wait to watch it. I won't be able to
go because I'll be at the Husky game tomorrow night. Andrews,
you'll be there. You'll be at the Husky game with me.
I mean, it just seems just seems like every sports fan,
every person that you know, is doing something tomorrow involving
the Huskies, Mariners or both, right, Like can you Like
(04:24):
I actually saw a dude here at the bar and
I was like, you're going to game tomorrow. He's like, no,
I'm gonna play off in Eastern Washington. Like okay, that's
like the one dude that I the one guy that
has nothing going on tomorrow involving the Huskies or Mariners.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know, there's part of me that's kind of glad
I'm gonna be at the Husky game because it will
give me a little bit of a distraction from being
totally stressed out. And the fact that it's a Husky
game that we should win easily that helps a little
bit as well. That I won't be doubles. It's not
like we're playing Michigan or Ohio State or Penn State.
(04:56):
I'll have a little bit. It will give me a
little bit of disc it's from the Mariners game. Even
though it'll be on my phone, I'll be watching it.
You mentioned they're gonna have it on the Husky game
before the game right day. Yeah, they're gonna carry it
on the Jumbo trone, but.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Not in the zone like they did three years ago.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And I don't think so. I think what they're gonna
do is they're gonna first pitches. At five oh eight.
I was talking to my buddy Kurtzwillbota over at UDUB
and he said, look, we're gonna carry it as long
as we can you know, I mean, at some point
they gotta get into their pregame festivities and you know,
all the fun videos and stuff they do and pyrotechnics
and blah blah blah. So at some point I think
you said, probably around five thirty is what he said.
(05:31):
Five forty or so. I can go back and look
at the text. They're gonna switch over. But yeah, if
you're in the stands tomorrow at five oh eight for
the Mariner first pitch, it'll be on the jumbo tron
at Husky Stadium, which I think is great.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You know, it's great, It's great.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It'll be interesting to see how focused Husky fans will
be in that stadium, like how many people will actually
be just locked into their phones, and how many people
will actually be watching the game. Because if you're a Husky,
if you're a Husky season ticket holder, you probably didn't
buy tickets to the Mariners because you were gonna go
to the Husky game. Maybe some are gonna go to
(06:04):
the Mariners game, but there's a lot of people that
just either a can't afford Mariner tickets for this or
just are like no, I'm just I'm not gonna spend
three hundred and fifty dollars when I'm already paid for
Husky tickets. That's kind of where I'm at. I've already
already paid for good Husky tickets. I'm not gonna spend
three hundred and fifty more dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I just hope they win. Then I can buy a
ticket next week for the ALCS.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
If I could have gotten out of my duties tomorrow
night and gone to T Mobile, I would have done it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'm just being honest.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, you tried three years ago, I did I, Boss Lunch.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I tried.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I tried to pay Dick one thousand dollars three years
ago to go fill in ticket rich when Richmond Dick
was all set.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I would have done it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
In his defense, I mean, it's a thousand bucks. One
thousand bucks. Three years ago, it was worth a lot
more than five thousand. Now, I'm telling you that I
would have gotten out of it.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
But hey, you know what man, I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Look, we are so lucky to get to do what
we do in this business, and you know I was.
I'll be truthful with you, guys. I was throwing a
bit of a pity party today. And my wife is
just like, you know what, dude, suck it up, man
and stop being a.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Bird for yah.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well, and it's not having to work, It's just I'm
gonna be bummed that I'm not there at the baseball
game on Friday. I mean, look, I'm I love the
Huskies and all that, and you know that they're number
one for me. But if you're telling me that I'm
gonna skip one game to go watch the biggest game
in twenty four years in Mariner baseball and it's the
Rutgers game, I absolutely would have done that.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But I agree with you one thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There's gonna be a lot of people that are there
that'll be watching the game on their phones. Because guys,
let's be honest, how many people in the I five
corridor Everett to Tacoma, three million people whatever it is,
forty eight thousand of them will be at t Mobile Park, right.
That leaves two point nine to five million people that
will not be at the Mariner game tomorrow that will
have other things to do, and a lot of them
(07:45):
will be at Husky Stage. The Husky crowd's gonna be
I think the atmosphere is going to be good for
the people that are there. Yes, I do agree with
that though that it might be a bit of a
lighter crowd.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It is homecoming.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
It is homecoming. It's also a six pm kickoff on
a Friday night. And see how traffic. Right, So we'll see,
we'll see. But hey, you know what, just get it done,
get it done tomorrow, and then we got some big
games next week that we can all get, you know, embraced,
and start beating on Toronto and hating Canada.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Three fourteen, we're gonna break.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Rick new Heiseel gonna join next on ninety three three KJARFM, your.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Home for college football Saturdays, is live with CBS sports
analyst Rick new Heiseel, powered by Taco Time. Hungry at
Taco Time, It's easy to create exactly what you're craving,
and we wouldn't have it any other way. How do
you Taco Time, customize your meal and order ahead on
the Taco Time Northwest Taco Time Time for something different
Now with Rick new Heisel, here's Softy and Dick.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
All right, we are live at Tom's Watch Bar across
the street from Planet Pledge Arena for the Kracking ducks Man.
When these two teams get together, throw out their record books, baby,
their enemies, they hate each other. At seven o'clock tonight,
here the broadcast whatever and now and Mikey and the.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Whole crew, Well, how do you throw the record books
out from last year? Year before?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Come on, Dick, stay with me here Palas day with
me joining us right now on the radio show. I
was going to introduce him by his given name, Rick
new heisl of CBS Sports, but I think we all
now know he is no longer Rick new Heiseel. He
is now Jerry's dad, and he joins us right now
on the radio program.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Hey, Jerry's dad.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Before we get to that, I want to play a
clip here for you, and this is after the Penn
State UCLA game on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I want you to tell me.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Confirm that this is not Jerry's dad talking, but Jerry
himself Andrews rolling.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
But all things you learned from. I hate to say this,
but I had never practiced with the headset in terms
of like the button to talk to the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So there's like multiple.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Times during the game I'm calling to play, but the
headset's flipped up. Because I'm used to being a position
coach and then all of a sudden, I'm pressing the
wrong part of the button, trying to talk to him.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Like it was.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It was a mess.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
Hopefully we'll get that cleaned up by next week. But
just one of those days we just just all kind
of fell into place.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
If I went back, amazing, if I went back Rick
and listen to an interview that we did when you
were thirty seven thirty eight years old as a coach
of the Huskies, you sounded exactly like that, and he
looked exactly like, So is that you or.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Is that him talking? Confirm it?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
That was Ai that way, clearly. Clearly, the content of
that message means that we didn't play button button, Who's
got the button? Nearly enough. As children, it was a
great day for Jerring, a great day for UCLA, fun
for college football, and certainly as parents, we all know
(10:47):
how much fun it is to see your kids kind
of have that moment. So it was a thrill, a
lot of fun, a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Where does that rank?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I mean, because you're exactly right, I mean, when I
watch my kids succeed, I'm way more proud of that
than anything I ever did. So where does that rank
as far as your best college football saturdays of.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Your life, and way more hands off the wheel, right
because you have no control. You're just sitting there, you know,
watching it in real time and pulling as hard as
you can. It ranks right up there, I mean. And
thankfully my wife decision was there. She got to be
in the sand, got my son Jack is there. So
(11:27):
it was great fun. It was great fun. But now
on the Michigan State, you know, he's got he's got
to figure it out now this week again because he's
created now some films that those Michigan State coaches will
be watched. So now he's got to figure out how
to counter it and still be affected. But in credit
to Tim Skipper, the head coach, and Kevin Coyle, the
(11:47):
defensive coordinator. Kevin Coyle was coaching Syracuse as an analyst
two weeks ago and put together a defensive game plan
that helped the knock off Pense State. That's an incredible,
incredible accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, no, that well, congrats to the entire clan. Coach.
That was just awesome to see that.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
His reaction getting carried off the field by the players
and coaches after that game was really really cool to
see and then your reaction and studio losing your mind
tearing up on the air was awesome. So congrats, And
that's a memory you guys will take with you forever.
But I'll tell you what else is a memory is
the Husky's going to Maryland, fall behind twenty and finding
a way to win the game Saturday out at Colevich
(12:26):
Park and Maryland. So put yourself in the shoes of
those coaches and players. How much can that come back?
You think, springboard that locker room to bigger and better
things the rest of the year.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Well, when you factor in the road woes from a
year ago, right, the nightmares on the different venue, Ruttors
comes to mind, right, and you sit there and then
you're sitting there down twenty to nothing to Maryland, a
team that you were favored to see, and then all
of a sudden you find a way to come back.
I can just hear it get Fish in the aftermath
of that game saying, that's who we are, that's who
(13:00):
we are this year, and we've got a standard now
we've got to play to that. We owe it to
each other to play to and practice to. So I
think it's going to be a great will have been
a great week of practice. I'm looking forward to watching
the Huskies play tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
How do you avoid the letdown after a win like
that and come back home? Will the revenge factor that
they lost at Rutgers last year? Will that help kind
of mitigate the letdown a little bit?
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I think the fact that they now know it's inside
their dna to come from behind and win like that.
I think the fact that they know that separates them
from the memories of last year. And if the leadership
on that team will now make sure they hold everybody
to a standard each and every time they're getting ready
to play as well as play, I think it's going
(13:50):
to have great the results as they go forward. So
I think it was a critical, critical win. I we'll
be able to win on the road if you're going
to be a premiere program.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Or Rick new Hazel's with us and Rick, you know,
we spent a few minutes at the top there talking
about Jerry and the win over Penn State. But the
opposite side of that coin is James Franklin's future at
Penn State. And we asked you, I think a week ago,
if you thought James Franklin was going to get fired,
and you said, no, how much do things change after
(14:21):
what we saw last Saturday at the rollers bawl for
him and his future?
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Well, here's the deal. Unless James Franklin wants to leave,
it's fifty million dollars, just under fifty million dollars to
watch them walk out the door. And I mean, this
is a terrible loss for Penn State, inexcusable when you
look at it from a fans perspective, especially a fan
that's been contributing to the collective. It can't happen. And
(14:48):
yet to me, this is going to create some measure
of desperation. I feel this way about Texas too. These
two programs were picked to be one and two when
the season began. There's not enough desperation. And the leaders
from that locker room now has to look at each
other in the eye and say, we're coming back from this.
And both those teams, given the fact they're in the
Big ten and the SEC, have a schedule that will
(15:10):
allow for you know, one of those seasons where you
look back and go, this is kind of what we needed.
We almost needed to get ourselves knocked in the and
taste a little of our own blood and come back fighting.
And we're going to find out how much fight those
two programs have.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Let's talk about that Texas game.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
They're actually favored by a point and a half in
the Red River rivalry against sixth ranked Oklahoma. How do
you prepare if you're sark when you don't know if
John Matteer is going to play on the other side
or not. I mean, they're they he's questionable, but at
least Oklahoma sounds like he's going to play.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
How do you prepare if you're sark?
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Well, I think you prepare for the offense that Mature runs,
whether it's Hawkins now going to have a second game,
if he's if he's available, Michael Hawkins who played last year,
or if it's Matier. But at the end of the day,
it's about It's about us. If I'm Steeve Sary, and
there's one thing I'm never going to do again, which
is say we're one of one hundred and thirty six
teams and act like you know everybody you tell who
(16:08):
would have lost at Ohio State in Florida. You're not
one of one hundred and thirty sixteens. You've got more
resources than any program in the country, and you need
to act like it. And then he needs to go
in that locker room and say that standard's unacceptable and
who's going to hold us to a higher one? And
then see if that defense will go out and play,
because you're playing the best unit of all the units
so far in college football, the defense of Oklahoma, it
(16:31):
has been remarkably good, remarkably good. And if you can
find a way to run the ball and keys stay
on the field and put the pressure on it injured
or at least you know, Rusky John McTeer or Rusky
Michael Hawkins, you've got a chance to win that game.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You think Oklahoma's defense is better than Ohio States.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
I think Oklahoma's defense has been more explosive than Ohio States.
But I think Matt Patricia is the assistant coach of
the Year right now. He'd be my Broyles Award winner
just the way. And I add to that Ryan Day
in the offense because I think they're giving up some
you know, shots down the field because they're wanting to
pay complementary football, which we saw in Husky Stadium. I
(17:15):
think they're brilliant together and they're now on the number
one team in the land and by.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Us your big game on CBS Indiana Oregon. I'm hearing
a lot of handicappers right now saying Kurt Sidnetti and
Indiana sneaky dog in Austin.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Do you agree with the sneaky dog call? I think
this is a fascinating game because everywhere you look, these
are top ten teams, whether you're looking at defense, whether
you're looking at offense, whether you're looking at quarterbacks, whether
you're looking at run pass on either side of the ball,
up and across the board. I think at the end
of the day, I'm going to lean Oregon just because
(17:51):
I think they're fastest, and it's also going to be
in clement now. Indiana beat Illinois I think in the range.
So I don't know that that the biggest thing that's
going to be a problem for them, but I just
think the Ducks are a hair faster. I'm gonna lead
Oregon there.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Do you think Bill Belichick finishes the year at Chapel Hill,
And if he does finish the year, what kind of
odds would you give us on Bill Belichick coaching Carolina
in Week one next season?
Speaker 8 (18:21):
I think he does finish the year. I think the
university is wildly disappointed in what's happened. I think there's
at least watching the effort on the field, it looked
like a little bit of a mail in the fact
that Bill Belichick left during a bye week go on
a little vacation. At least it's been reported that he did.
(18:42):
That would never have happened at the Patriots. I think
they're going to get through the year because it would
be too embarrassing to do otherwise. But I will be
shocked if he's the head coach there next year.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I watched the first half of that game, Rick, and
you're right.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I mean, not only was it just a laugher, it
looked like they were poorly coached. I mean there were
defensive players completely out of alignment on every play against Clemson.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
Yeah, I didn't get a chance to watch it closely.
I did see what looked like loafs. You know, as
a coach, he used to put on tape the loafs
so that you could show it in your position meeting
and say this is unacceptable. There were a death tape,
would have been a long tape. And I also go
back to the TCU opener game where it was just
(19:28):
simple pin and poll stuff in the run game where
they were blocking down with the tight end pulling the
tackle and they never made an adjustment and it was
they were dashing them. And that's not Bill Belichick. He
doesn't let that happen. And yet I think he's all
too it's all too easy for him to let it happen.
This year, he's given his sons a chance to be uh,
you know, got great opportunities. But it's it doesn't look
(19:53):
anything BELICHICKI in any of our.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Minds, no, no question.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
All right, hey, listen before we get your tackle time
picking week, and I got to apologize to you because
normally we start the radio show win or lose, reminding
people what you did the previous game.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We didn't do well.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
And there's only one rule we skip that when your
son wins a football game the week before against Penn stand.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Fair enough, all right, that's the.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Only time I didn't you notice, I didn't chastise yet.
I know that I didn't get on yet.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
And I feel bad because you won with Pittsburgh last
week and you're off the schneid. But Rick just real quick,
like just like thirty seconds because we got to get
your pick here in a minute. Give us a take
on this Rutgers team that will see tomorrow. They're they're
three and two, but the two Big ten losses to
Iowa and Minnesota, they were leading with five minutes to
go in both games and could not finish the deal.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Yeah, they're a little different than they were maybe in
the last couple of years with Greg Ciano as their
head coach. They're not leaning on the running game. They're
leading on the quarterback who transferred from Minnesota. This kid
eighthan calli manus right, and they threw it all over
the yard against Iowa. So if it's gonna be but
I think that plays into the hands of the Husky defense.
(21:07):
And I think I don't know what the weather report
is tomorrow night. It's kind of raining here in Eugene,
so I'm wondering if you might get some of the
same precipitation. But I liked a game that's gonna be
a lot of throwing against the Huskies. I think their
corners match up, and so I'm gonna see I like
the Huskies in a revenge game here on Friday night.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, all right, real quick, taco time Pick of the week.
You're in the win column with Pittsburgh a week ago.
Good work on that. They blew him out and made
it easy for us. Who do you like this week
for your Taco Time Pick of the week.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
You know Jake Dickers left Washington State to go to
wake Horse and they two weeks ago nearly knocked off
Georgia Tech. Probably should have. There was a terrible non
call on an offside against Georgia Tech. They didn't call it.
He hit won last week. He's coming back to the
specific Northwest. He'll know all about Oregon State. They're only
(22:01):
a two and a half point pick. Robbie Ashford. If
it's inclement day, Robbie Ashford a running quarterback, I'm gonna
lean the Demon Deacons. I'll lay the two and a
half and we'll see you how the Beavers can hang
in there with them.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Great stuff, coach, congrats again on the big moment for
the family.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Go get him and we're talking.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
A week Max Rick, Thanks guys, I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You bet let's get the factor fiction brought to you
by the Lucky Egle.

It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Fact door Fiction, probably
presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day
Feels Lucky. Fact door Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
All right, here's the deal, Dick. I'm gonna just go
with my gut. I'm going the exact opposite of everything
we talked about off the air.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Oh really, I'm just I woke up this.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Morning and I came in today with a pick in
my head good and I pulled out a piece of
paper like Draft Day that says the coups plus the
points against Ole Miss. I mean you might rip my
ass on Monday, and that's fine. I just got a
feeling I'm getting thirty two and a half at ole Miss.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I think the coups and the points is to play.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
We talked about the under in the in the game tonight. Yeah,
you talked about the Giants tonight. We talked about the
Jets in London, and I just I gotta go with
my gut. I gotta go with my gut. Cougar's and
Zebby are getting thirty two and a half at ole Miss.
Give me the Coops and the points this weekend.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, at least I got a reason to stay and
watch the game with my wife for three hours to
see if you're just giving me a reason at nine
in the morning on Saturday morning to watch Cougar football
with my lovely bride.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Factor Fiction Cougar's and the points against Ole Miss. I
don't think they win the game. I mean, I just
think thirty two and a half, I think they cover.
I think they cover.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Did they cover against us?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
No? They did not?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Thirty five good as All Miss? No, but that was
a weird wonky game, you know. I just think they're
a different team with Zebbi out there. I think All
Miss might be a ten overrated, to be honest with you,
as well could be. I think they're gonna look right
past these guys. So I like the Cougs. I've I've
I've liked them all week. I'm not changing my mind.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I'm gonna go my gut and I'm gonna take the
coops to the points Factor fiction.

you why, Guys, last week they played fourth ranked LSU.
Next week they played tenth ranc Georgia, and the week
after that they play sixth rank Oklahoma. I'm telling this
is an overlook track game if you ever could imagine one.

did you happen to hear what's that?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Where do you say we start? In baseball?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
After eliminating the Yankees yesterday, Blue Jay Slugger Vlatbeard Guerrero
Junior joined the Fox postgame show when he and fellow
Yankee hater David Ortize imitated the most famous John Sterling
line after a Yankee victory, Yankee, let's.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Again Yankees, But you don't take it personalized.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Here's the thing, though, Derek Jeters on the broad show.
But the thing for me, Jeter's way more of a
Yankee than a will ever be. But you're right, a
Ron played for the Yankees too. But I think that
that pierces Jeter more than it does Alex. Alex looked
far more horrified than well, far more horrified.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I think it's awesome. Jeter was kind of giggling.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Alex was had his hands on his face, like, oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I think I think I saw a tweet.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Somebody made a tweet and I saw it, uh talking
about how the Blue Jays did the world of favor
by eliminating the Yankees, and I kind of had to
pause for a second.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm like, do we really feel that way? Nope, because
I don't know if I do anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I mean, the Marriagers and Yankees have not played in
the playoffs series for twenty four years, going back to
two thousand and one. I think the next generation Dick.
Like Anders, they have way more angst and hatred towards
the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The Yankees.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Well, the Yankees are the Dallas Cowboys of baseball, right
they are. They are a team, And today's today's kids
don't give a crap about the Cowboys because they've never
done anything in their life. Actual what I'm saying, the
Yankees have done very very little in the lifetimes of
people like and when.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Was the last time the Yankees won a World Series?
Fifteen years ago?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Nine?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, you know whatever, it was right, sixteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
So I just kind of feel like, I mean, I'm
trained to hate the Yankees. Dick is trained to hate
the Yankees, But I don't know, I think the Blue
Jays bug to piss out of.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Me more than I hate. The Blue Days are my
second least favorite team after the As. Yeah. Yeah, I
might be right there with you, Pal.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Would it surprise you if I told you that Alex
Rodriguez played twelve years with the New York Yankees.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Jeter played like twenty than that.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
But still Alex, I mean, twelve years, that's more than
all Yankees.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I just feel like Jeter is way more of a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, mister Evert.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, will ever be and the fans will let him
be reminded of that too.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yankee fans don't look at Alex Rodriguez as a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I understand that. But baseball fans look at Alex Rodriguez
and I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I look at the guys a chump they dick. Did
you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
They hang on this second? I hit the wrong three
two three two?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Dick? Let's go to UH number two.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
After his big win against the Seahawks on Sunday, Bucking
Your Quarterback, Baker Mayfield talked about how the perception of
his attitude has changed now that he's had success.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
I mean that's told you guys that try and not
get too high on get too low, which is something
that I was not doing early on in my career.
But you know, early on my career, Yeah, it's looked
this cocky immature. Now it's moxie.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
He's a dog, same different day.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
As long as you play well, they've changed an area.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
But you've got to be yourself and that I've.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Always been like that, right, I mean, you win games
and you can be as cocky as you want you
lose games, you come across as a morons, right. I Mean,
it's just all there is too. And I'm looking at
his quarterback record. The guy is fourteen and eight uh
since twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Uh, he was four He was four.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
And thirteen in the previous seventeen games. So he's totally
switched that the last two years in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Well, and he's one of those guys that got put
in the wrong spot in Cleveland. I mean, we've seen
it with the Giants, We've seen it with the Panthers,
we've seen it with the Jets, and then we've seen
it with the Browns. Like, you get put in that
situation as a quarterback, you're probably not going to succeed.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I think the one thing that I like, I like
you too.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I think the one.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Thing that probably bothered a lot of people when he
came out of college was the ultra brash.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Neist, right, and then all sagging.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, and then but then also he did all those
TV commercials. Meanwhile he was throwing three interceptions a game
in Cleveland. He was just like everywhere on TV, and
We're like, what the heck, man, you haven't done anything
in the NFL and you're all over team.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
He was a first round draft pick, that's what got
him on TV. But he had twenty two touchdowns and
twenty one picks in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You know, he was eleven and five and twenty twenty
for the Browns. Eleven and five.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Oh yes, and then everything just kind of fell apart
after that. So hey, I mean, dude, we may have
seen the MVP of the NFL come through here last weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Seriously, Alight, just got one more? All right?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Anders or Dick? Sorry? Hey, Anders?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Do you happen to hear that Anders did?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
What's that? Dave? What's that? Dick? Let's go two? Three
or four? You guys pick which one?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I like?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Three?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
More like three? Okay?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Five?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
On his podcast, now never mind, let's two, fortunately right,
ESPN's Paul fine Bomb relates a report on his show
detailing the activity of Bill Belichick during his bye week
and how much it differs from every other college football
head coach.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
During his bye week, he took the week off and
went on a vacation with Jordan Hutching. By the way,
I'm not against anyone having a vacation, but I have
never heard of a college football coach taking more.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Than maybe a day off, and I don't even think
I've ever heard of that.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
Spurrier used to get criticized for playing golf on the
Friday of the byewek. We heard Brian Kelly yesterday talk
about on Saturday, where there's no game, he went shopping
with his wife. That's as far as it goes. But
to take the whole week off, now, I realize there's
never been a seventy three year old coach who had
a twenty four year old girlfriend. I don't think that
(32:28):
really should be a factor here if I could offer
my opinion, But it feels like the end is near
for Bill Jeff Belichick. And by the way, I would
suggest a Bill he would be smart to quit now
before his legacy gets worse and he becomes even more
humiliated than he already is. I mean, he's on track
(32:48):
to become the worst college football coach ever. That's pretty
bad when you are considered the greatest NFL coach.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Huh has fine? Bob never heard of Tyrone Willingham. By
the way, I'll just say that although Tyrone went to
a Rose Bowl with Stanford, they were eight and four
and a down year for the Pack ten. But he
did go to a Rose Bowl. But here's the thing
about Belichick, He's just not bought in. And for as
much as fine bomb and noise the hell out of people,
he's exactly one.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Hundred percent right.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
You don't take a whole week off during the middle
of the year because you have a bye to go
on vacation.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You know what you do? You go recruit is what
you do. You go on the road, you go to
high schools.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I will bet you a significant amount of money, Dick,
that Bill Belichick is doing next to nothing or no
recruiting whatsoever for North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I think that he has probably already decided that this is.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
His one and only year at North Carolina, right, which
we all kind of knew that, So why should I
even do one thing when it comes to helping the
twenty twenty six North Carolina it's.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Already I think we all kind of knew going in
that the odds of him being there for two years
were pretty slim. We all thought that he was going
he gonna take the job and his son's going to
take over.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, good luck with that.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Now there's no way that happens now, I mean you've
interviewed Steve Belichick.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I've been a fuge Steve Belichick.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I wouldn't hire the guy to run a post office
with his personality. It's unbelievable. Man three fifty six Mike Combrin.
I'd hire him though, but running ups and FedEx. We'll
see if he wants the job in North he might
he might want it. Well, you know what we'll ask
him next. On ninety three three kJ R FL
